IDA AO.

Nevada wants Idaho and most of
Idaho wants to come to Nevada.
While the necessary forms of legis-
lation have not been even begun
the annexation of Southern Idaho
may be regarded as certain, and
the citizens of that portion of the
Territory will be citizens Of a SOW
ereign State, one of the largest in
the Union and containing the
greatest mineral wealth Of any.
Nevada will have her population
increased by many thousands. the
burden of State government will be
lighter on the individual taxpayers,
and everybody will be benefited
To the ceaseless and intelligent en-
ergy of VIM. nj. Stewart is due the
credit. His zeal for the welfare OF
his State, .made possible the realiza-
ton of the scheme, and his untir-
ing work completed the necessary
details. Mindful Of the merest
trife, he has left nothing to the ac-
cidents of the future. but has pre-
pared everything for an almest i'm
mediate accomplishment Of the un-
dertaking- Is it strange that such
as he should be the choice of the
people for United States Senator?
Is it strange that they prefer an
able man who points to what he
has done and is doing as evidence
of what he will DO? The people of
Nevada want a man who tries and
succeeds not one who tries, fails
and cries. In the acquisition of
Idaho, Nevada will receive terri
tory larger than some of the East
ern States with almost unlimited
possibilities as to development.
But one man is thoroughly pre-
pared to push the matter to a sue
cessful conclusion, he is, however,
not only prepared but earnest in
the cause and the annexation will
in itself be record of efficiency.
The Idaho annexation is alone
sufficient to indicate Mr.. Stewart as
the proper choice Of the Lecisla-
ture. No claims are urged against
him except those of angry political
disappointment taking the form of
abuse without argument, and the
time has not Jet come when the
wide awake people of the sagebrush

is presumptuous and PERSISTENT

vas a man of philanthropic spirit.
Twelve years aso &c built and
equipped the SITS. Mary and Elizabeth I'm
sectarian hospital in Louisville, and SO
secretly that even his own family did not
know it. He presented it to the Sisters of
Charity. In the same manner he built
and presented to the Little Sisters of the
Poor the St. Sophia's Home for the Aged
and Iniirm in Richmond.
Mrs. Caldwell died eleven years ago
and her husband three years later. His
will gave the property to his daughters
as she became of age. Miss Mary G.
Caldwell was 81 last October, and she
then came into possession Of her property,
She is said to be quite capable Of manag
ing her large fortune. She knows where
every dollar is invested, and just what it
is doing She was educated in the Con-
vent and Academy of the Sacred Heart
In Manhattanville, and after graduation
Travelled and studied in Europe, She is
slender, with dark brown hair and bright
brown eyes, and has energy and decision
written on her face and in her move
ments. 1t was quite her own idea to
found the university. She had, she said,
been thinking of it for two or three years.

HARBoR SEALS, ST. PAUL's ISLAND.
away the connecting ridges. The Aleuts
are Greek Christians-simple, civil and
honest. Fish is their staff of life; and
here begins that wealth of ocean products
about which the late difficulty arose.
While almost every island is noted for
some product, the great center of the fur
seal industry is on the Pribylov islands,
where English, French, Dutch and Rus
sion vessels carried on an active industry
for eighty years, until the catch dwindled
from tens Of thousands to as many hun
dreds. Then a better regulated system
was enforced, and now the islands are
in fair way to be more valuable than
ever. The Alaska Commercial company,
to which congress has granted the islands
for twenty years, now limits the catch to
10000 seals a year; all these their hardy
Alcut employees take In two months, when
the fur is ut its best--June Is to Aug. 10,
usually-and what is equally agreeable to
learn, the company deals justly with the ma.
tives and has established among them a
very high degree of comfort. As forty cents
is paid for taking each skin, it will be seen
that the distribution Of $40, 900 each sum-
mer in that small population makes "good
times" Only the fur seal is taken for its
skin; the hair seal, sea lion and other
amphibans of the genus, only for food
in these islands, though on the Atlantic
coast they are taken for their oil. BY
their care III taking only at the best season,
the company has moro than doubled the
value of their skins In the worlds
markets. Outside of these seal
islands, all the islands and main
land of Alaska are open to the world,
but nature protects the animals
elsewhere quite effectively. The fur
seal is the most intelligent of all amphib-
ious animals, and his instinct in the most
important relation Of life, the domestic, is
almost equal to the human intellect. We
need not describe their Mormon habits,
since every book Of travel in the north
abounds IL humorous description. They
come In from their winter journey eX-
tremely fat, and depart after their short
summer on the breeding grounds in tho
last degree of leanness; the weight of full
grown males, 800 to 900 pounds, and that
Of the females is but little less. So judi
4 ciou5ly has the company managed that
the seals on the summer grounds the past
year are known to have numbered at least
1900. 900, and it Is estimated that half as
many more are upon the outlying islands
of the Pribylov group, where no census
he's been taken. We can present but a
few of many facts proving the present and
prospective value of these islands, and the
| improvement in the trade under good
management.

THE HOME OF THE SEAL.
MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF
THE BEHRiNG SEA TROUBLE.

History OF the Alaskan Purchase Of
1se7-some Description of the varie-
ties of Seal That Are Taken on the
Islands of the Retiring Sea.
When Secretary Seward, in 1867, sought
to signalize his administration by acquir-
ing some new territory, not one American
in ten thousand knew anything of inn
portance In regard to the purchase. Little
by little we have learned its value, and
now it and the Behring sea, which washes
its shores, is the location of most inter-
esting trouble with Great Britain.
The annexed map will materially assist
our readers in the comprehension of what
ever may be said regarding this sealing
trouble. The line running southwest
from Behring strait along the Siberian
coast marks the treaty boundary of 1867,
and the government of the United States,
according to that treaty, has exclusive
jurisdiction and dominion over the
waters of Behring sea east of that
boundary. The Russian government has
jurisdiction and dominion west of the
same line. The Seal Islands, st. Paul
and ST. George, the chief center of animal
life in Behring sea, lie to the north of
Ounalaska. The fur seal pass nOrthward
every spring through the channels on each
side of Ounalaska Island to their main
breeding place at st. Paul and St.
Georges Islands. The six or more British
vessels caught poaching in Behring sea
have been seized between Ounalaska and
the Seal Islands and have been taken by
the revenue cutter Rush to Sitka.
These vessels sailed from Victoria, Van
couver's Island, British North America.
And now, as we have to struggle for
our new property, we become deeply in
terested in it, according to the nature of
man; and it is in order to present the
main facts OF its history, climate and re-
sources. 1t is an immense land, and q
gloomy land, and, as in every other section
Of the far north, its exploration has been
the occasion Of many sad calamity.

value Is not yet fully tested. And finally
from that point 600 miles westward and
southwark was the great fright whale
region, which, as late as 1850, drew
some 800 vessels yearly.
From Sitka one sails long way west

reached the coast of Asia Other explor-
ers followed, and by ITO the coast of
Alaska was fairly well known. Trade
in furs and fish grew rapidly, and
in 1790-G9 the Russians organized
the business under the despotic
control of government monopoly; and
so, with but slight changes, it remained
till 1867. Tho Russian American COM
pany at first treated the natives with
such rigor that the latter were almost
eStermnated on the islands; then self
interest compelled them to do better, and
when the United States recovered the
country the races were on fairly good
terms. In May, 1867, Seward agreed
to pay S7,e00,O00 in gold for the whole
region, ana ON the lctn OF the sue
ceeding October the formal transfer was
made, The United States received q re-
gion, islands and mainland, over 1000
miles long from east to west and 1,2OQ
miles wide, covering about 5l2, 900 square

maux, 2, 145 Aleuts, 1897 Athabathcans
and 6, 163 miscellaneous savages; total,
30, 1876.
The Sitkan region extends so far south
along the coast that it is fairly well known
to the navigutors, and one may visit the
capital from San Francisco by steamer
any month in the year. But there is no
communication by land between that and
the northern coast Of the islands, and the
voyage by water is far more arduous than
to or from the Pacific ports. Indeed the
men employed in the fur seal industries
AMI other activities of the upper region
look upon the Sitkan district as away
